How we help
We're in it for the long haul
We write early checks and stay involved through multiple rounds. Building companies is hard and takes time. We don't disappear when things get difficult.
Everything we know is yours
Our network includes customers, talent, investors, and other founders. If we can make an introduction that helps your business, we will.
It's your company
We don't micromanage or second-guess your decisions. You know your business better than we do. We're here when you need us, but we won't get in your way.
